I had one today... after all the hype, it was a pretty big let down. I found it incredibly boring - it wasn't bad, but it wasn't really enjoyable. It was just sort of....meh.

    To each his own...I found a crazy box deal and am ordering one any day now, waiting for Ccom to get them so we can price match. This is one of my faves in my noob experiences and lived up to the hype in my opinion.

    I'm starting to believe in that post by kuzi in another thread that talked about mouth ph and other factors that affect taste because the Black Markets I have had have been anything but mild. I am also starting to think that there is far more variation, stick to stick, than people want you to believe.

    My comment in that moment was implying handmade cigars in general. Your question is fair enough though, I've tried several brands that have been pretty consistent and actually I would say that alec bradley has been one of those brands. I don't know enough about black markets to say one way or another. It still seems odd to me that I can have such disparate experiences stick to stick and it not be related to the make up of the individual cigar.

    I had a handfull of them and felt the same way. Just didn't float my boat.

    I liked them. I have only had one but it was pretty good. Give another try in the future.

    I've smoked probably 20 or 30 of them, and enjoy them quite a bit. They have a distinctive flavor profile, that I can see would be hit or miss according to palate preferences.

    Sorry to hear it. I had my first one few days ago and it kinda reminded me of the old rp vintage 1990s. I enjoyed it.

    Had the one from COTM the other day, I enjoyed the flavor quite a bit, perhaps not complex, but very tasty. The problem was the draw, very tight, but it might have been just this one. Not sure if I'd spring the $ for it, but then I'm a cheap bastid anyway.

    Sorry that you had a bad experience with this stick. One of my favorite sticks right now.

    Because Catfishblues is an awesome human being I had on of these at our herf last week. I really liked it and commented numerous times throughout the smoke that both the flavor remained very consistent and it had a flavor that I liked very much but couldn't put my finger on exactly what it was. Draw was a tad tight but not so much that it detracted from it in anyway and the strength, for me atleast, fell solidly in the medium range. All that being said I'm going to the b&m today to smoke/pickup more because of that mysterious flavor I'm still trying to pick out. Almost like a cross between cotton candy and smokiness from a campfire...

    I've yet to buy a Black Market or a Fine and Rare because so far the ENTIRE AB line has been just 'meh' to me. I'll try one some day, along with a Tempus Maduro, but I just can't get into AB. Before Prensado won cigar of the year I was treating them like yard 'gars. I still would if I had any left.
